FRANKLIN. This car arrived in with a complaint of the oil gauge sticking. We 'raced' the engine and the oil gauge needle jerked from 10-20 -lbs. The Thermometer worked quite correctly. We tried another oil gauge separately and this functioned well. Thereupon, we fitted a complete replacement component - D/75625 and both sides were standard. The displaced Instrument - No. 474 is being returned to Derby for your attention and after Smiths' have had it for repair, please send it back here for Stock. Order 12518 covers.
